Entertainment Weekly is reporting the rumor that Scarlett Johansson is in discussions with Marvel Studios to replace Emily Blunt for the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow, in Iron Man 2.
Blunt’s commitment to 20th Century Fox and the studio’s upcoming Gulliver’s Travels may prohibit her from co-starring in the superhero sequel.
Marvel will not confirm, but sources tell EW that Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role. Blunt’s reps are still trying to make both projects work, but “Gulliver’s” is further along, with a start date of April 15. Iron Man 2 still doesn’t have a shooting script and a start date has not yet been determined.
Hopefully we will find out from an official source soon if this is indeed true. Scarlett film rumors are a mile a minute but fans probably know she doesn’t have anything (filming wise) on her plate at the moment.

I really hope she doesn’t do it because the truth is.
She hasn’t really done much to impress anyone in 5 years.
The podcast known as Filmspotting called her their favorite whipping girl and never really had kind things to say about her post-LIT wise. They say she’s best when she doesn’t have much to say. Which is true, unfortunately.
Plus, Scarlett would sound extremely ridiculous in a Russian accent. She just doesn’t have any depth to offer anymore and her cover of that Jeff Buckley song was crap.
